CROSS CANADIAN RAGWEED
"LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER"
GARAGE
I have seen this tabbed on several places but something never sounded exactly right.
other day I stood in the first row of a Ragweed show and watched Cody to figure out what
was doing different. Here is what I think I saw him do. Has anyone tabbed the intro?
